Ep.5 Getting Better in the Messy Middle
Description
Performance coach, consultant and bestselling author of Better, Andrew Horsfield joins Nick and Loz to talk about the messy, uncertain space between where we are and where we want to be.
After 18 years working as a live, in-the-room facilitator, Andrew opens up about the vulnerability of putting his ideas into a book, and what years inside executive teams have taught him about leadership, self-awareness and creating meaningful change. Sometimes, he says, the problem a business thinks it has isn’t the real problem at all. And sometimes, telling a CEO the problem is them is exactly what needs to happen.
Andrew shares why changing our environment can be more powerful than trying to force new behaviours, how he protects his own energy through an “ideal week”, and why the discomfort we often label as imposter syndrome can actually be a sign that we’re doing something worthwhile.
He also reflects on the blunt piece of feedback that exposed his own need to be liked, the mentor who changed his trajectory, and a simple daily practice for getting better without a coach.
From leadership and performance to parenting, people-pleasing and learning to get comfortable with uncertainty, this is a conversation about what it really takes to move forward when you don’t have all the answers.
